Knit the City: stitching up London - in pictures

A band of sneaky graffiti knitters has been let loose all over London. Their mission? To bring some colour and warmth to mundane objects on the streets of the capital. Until it's time for a tea break, that is.

new book - Knit the City: A Whodunnknit Set in London, published by Summersdale and written by 'Yarn Corps' member, Lauren, aka
Deadly Knitshade.
